Local Tattoo Artist Bashed On China’s Social Media For Being a Mother With Tattoos, But M’sians Fire Back

It’s sad that society still sees tattoos as a reflection of one’s behaviour. Because it’s not. If anything, it showcases one’s willingness to commit to long term decisions and reflects a more creative view on life. Yet, after years of progress and growth beyond traditional mindsets, it seems society still can’t shake their aversion towards tattoos.

Chinese photographer Jingke Street Snap had recently taken and posted a photo of Kinki Ryusaki, a very well-known Malaysian tattoo artist, as she was out and about in China with her 2-year-old daughter on his Weibo page.

Despite the fact that Kinki is a hardworking and successful tattoo entrepreneur while also being a dedicated and loving mother, netizens were quick to take to the comments section to judge and discredit her for being a bad mother just because she has tattoos.

She wrote, “If you have nothing better to do, listen to what others say about you because it’s more interesting than watching a horror movie. You will realise that even if you never did anything wrong, you will be played in many different roles and versions and become the star of the show. I give you 100 marks. (Got my picture secretly taken and posted on Weibo).”

Malaysians have since defended her and showed their support for Kinki.
